BOYS SOCCER PREVIEW - PART 1 Rocks have talent, plus experience

New coach Duhl

happy with prospects

By Tim Smith Staff Writer

In his first season as head coach of Salem’s varsity boys soccer team, Scott Duhl would like nothing better than to pick up where his prede­ cessor, Ed McCarthy, left off. Last season, the Rocks finished 16-3-4 and cap­ tured the KLAA Central Division, Kensington Conference and overall association titles. Who knows how long of a postseason march they would have enjoyed if not for a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Plymouth in the district finals. Not to worry. Duhl, a longtime assistant coach for McCarthy, welcomes a strong cast of returning players from that suc­ cessful season. Plymouth and Salem battle it out during last season's Division 1 district finals. The campus rivals could have an encore in 2013. john kemski | express photo “We have high hopes again of winning our Gary Balconi Invitation­ Salem’s front line will to “step up and earn big team,” Duhl said. “I just “We’re possibly up division and showing al.
